BROADWAY SAN DIEGO AWARDS – RULES AND REGULATIONS

School Rules: New for the 2024 Broadway San Diego Awards

 

The Jimmy Awards Category

For all high schools producing a full musical. Adjudicators will be sent to each production.

The National High School Musical Theatre Awards® has reviewed the professional standards for identifying the definition of an Approved Musical and a Qualifying Role in an Approved Musical for the purposes of the program. These standards serve as a guide to create a minimum standard and criteria for what defines a Qualifying Role in the category of Best Actor / Actress in an amateur production of an Approved Musical.

Here is the full list of qualifying shows and roles: (https://www.jimmyawards.com/participation/qualifying-shows-and-roles/).

As part of The Jimmy Awards (NHSMTA program), students are adjudicated in the category corresponding to their gender identification, not the gender of the role that they played. Students identifying as non-binary or gender-fluid may choose to either select the category in which they wish to be adjudicated (regardless of the gender of the role) OR they may be adjudicated based on the gender of the role they played.

Musicals will need to be adjudicated by April 28, 2024. If your musical is after this deadline, please email Carlos Martinez at cmartinez@BroadwaySD.com.

The entry fee for this category is $250 per production. SCHOLARSHIPS ARE AVAILABLE.
